Or, equivalently:

... where I read:
The following are not converted:
A string or character constant specified in hexadecimal or octal escape
sequence format
(because it represents the value of the desired character on output).
That could be an adverse design choice. For example in ported source
code if the programmer has specified 0xA0, the intent was more likely
than the EBCDIC 0xA0 code point.
